Description
NAD+ 500mg Peptide
NAD+ is an acronym for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, an endogenous nucleotide that is considered to regulate primary functions such as metabolism, energy production, and DNA repair. It is also considered to act as a secondary messenger via calcium-dependent signaling mechanisms, possibly serving as an immunoregulatory component. NAD+ is considered by researchers to be naturally synthesized via the de novo mechanism of converting the amino acid tryptophan through several enzymatic steps. Researchers posit that there are five components to NAD+ synthesis, including tryptophan, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide riboside, and nicotinamide mononucleotide.(3) Once synthesized, research suggests it exerts over 500 enzymatic reactions and cellular processes to aid metabolic activities. Essentially, it is suggested to act as a coenzyme in redox functions, converted to NADH (the energy-carrying form of NAD+), which may involve other metabolic pathways.
